Mamure Kalesi

Reviewed By ramilk2013 - Moscow, Russia

Anamur is a beautiful city in the South of Turkey, which has an ancient and diverse history, beautiful mountains and blue sea, many mosques and good cafes. I recommend visiting the Roman fortress, which was then an Armenian fortress and then became a Seljuk fortpost. It cost only 10 TL and you are in the 13th century.

Castle of Simena

Reviewed By inflexible85 - Canakkale, Turkey

Being in Simena (now Kaleköy), an ancient Lycian city, it is a fortress that you must visit with its terrifying location dating back to the 4th century BC. t is one of the rare settlements in Turkey, where you can reach only by water way. Or you need to come to the area from the bay at the back of the castle by a vehicle - there is a cemetery here - and take a short climb to the castle from here. I reached this castle by climbing from this place and as you approach, you see sarcophagi everywhere. I don't remember seeing so many sarcophagi elsewhere together. Even at these points where you approach the castle the view of Kekova Bay is great, you cannot imagine how great from the top of the castle. You can go up to the top parts of this castle, which you can enter with Müzekart as well, and enjoy the eye-catching vie, you do not even want to leave here. I felt regret that I hadn't been here before.
